Help with WIFI Tether - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, need some help. I am on AOPK JB ROM and Wifi Tether is supposed to work, et I am having troubles getting it to work on mine. I have used both the built in hot spot as well as Wifi Tether for Root. On the built in hot spot, it will work till the point of showing up on my tablet or other phones. It will connect once you enter the password, yet the wifi bars remain gray and never actually produce a connection.
On Wifi Tether for Root, I read where to change the profile to Galaxy Nexus CDMA. I do this and it does nothing. Not visible on any other devices.
I have done research on the net and have saw similar cases, but no definite solutions.
Any suggestions is appreciated.

I could be wrong (at work so don't have time to go over to the thread) but doesn't AOKP JB use CM10 device tree. And this is a problem on CM10 so it would be a problem on AOKP . Hope this helps

Issue with connecting to Wi-Fi hotspot on Android Phone.

I have a T-Mobile G2 that has been rooted and it has a custom ROM loaded on it, I turn on the mobile wi-fi hot spot and have no problem connecting to it with my Prime but every time it connects it disconnects and I am unable to get online. I am running ICS on the tablet. It has no problem connecting to my wi-fi at home and work. It is unable to connect to my phone which is set as the mobile wi-fi hotspot has anyone else encountered this issue or can assist me with resolving this issue?
Ics broke the phone tethering. There are a couple threads in general that explain it better than i can and also have possible fixes
No I have a g2x running Baldwin's cm7 kang and hotspots works great on tp on ics.

So you are using a g2x hotspot and prime is connecting to it correct?
I also have no issues, HTC Inspire 4G Prime is ICS Stock.
I think the problem is with your custom rom -- check your custom rom page to see if others are having this error. Try connecting a different device to your phone, if you have one, and you will probably get the same problem.
The only thing that ICS "broke" was wired tethering and adhoc networks/tethering, as far as I know ... wireless tethering (where your phone is a wi-fi AP) is working fine. I am using it without issue. As a matter of fact, I am typing this on my Prime from AndroidAP (wi-fi AP) which is coming from my phone.

It broke Ad Hoc tethering. Those with the tethering cooked into their ROM or as part of their phone built in are having less issues. Many of those of us that use a tethering app - not in our ROMS or part of our phones - got boned by ICS when it changed this ad hoc protocol.

I had no problem connecting my N900 and my IBM T42p to my G2 hotspot mode. It may be time for a new rom regardless.
Tried wi-fi hotspot on my G2 and it magically is working now.... I did nothing differently but hey it works right meow!

[Q] What happened to Cyanogenmod

Hey, I have noticed that there has not been a lot of activity on the cyanogenmod website ( I cannot post links yet) for very many devices, anybody know why? Please let me know.... Thanks!
Its CM9 time bud... there spending there time on getting it done

You mean, we will actually get an official CM9 ROM from Cyanogenmod? I was thinking that the Aria might be too old.
wouldn't hold my breath, even if CM9 will work on Aria, there are many bugs that I'm not sure can be fixed.
I love cyanogen and love all the hard work, but it seems that with every version there are just more and more bugs.
I´ve tried the CM9 on my aria and I think it will work properly when they get a new egl
I had seen that, What is EGL? Thanks
[ROM][ICS] CyanogenMod 9 [Updated: Feb 9th]
Cannot get CM9 to connect with my home WIFI network. WIFI network is listed with a strong signal, but when I try to connect it displays the getting IP address message and then report that my network is not in range. It will, however, allow me to connect to my neighbor's network. My home network is open w/no security password. Other ROMs, CM7.2 and Liberated 2.2, will connect with my home network. Any thoughts?
Bump.....

Wifi seems to work fine for me running ics. the phone is slow though

[Q]Bluetooth Tether?

Being a forum mod, it will be doubly bad if i have missed this somewhere, but i swear i searched, and found nothing much..
SO, I just joined the rezound family, up from my incredible.. my warrenty was void within hours..
One of the big things about my Inc was the ability to tether with WPA2 encryption.. handy in the work environment where they don't want too many open hotspots.
Now, i have already thrown a ICS rom on my Zound, since my current tab (Touchpad with CM9) does not support ad-hoc (from what i have found). But, i have always longed for BT tethering, since it is the least obvious (again, managed work enviroment).
For all the talk of wifi, has any real progress been made using BT? Given that ICS is still a but unstable, i wouldn't mind going back to GB, but would need other tethering instead of ad-hoc.
Any advice (aka.. your free chance to slap around a mod for not finding something obvious... )
I have searched far and wide for this with little success. I think the answer is to wait for cm9 to come to the rezound. But that is probably months away.. :/.

After more searching, i still come up short. We really cannot be the only two hat needs bt tether...
Doesn't open garden support BT tether?
I've looked as well and haven't found anything. I know PDA net has that option, but I've never gotten it to work properly.

I use PDANet to Bluetooth tether my Mac. I'm on a mostly stock ROM. Works great but slowly (since my Mac is a 2004 model).
But I know it works on GB.
On ics, you should be able to select routing fix (and mms clamping?) And choose cdma GNex in google WiFi Tether app and use infrastructure.
I did it on Ineff ICS.
+1 to this problem. My phone's battery would make love to whoever figures this out.

tethering two android phones over bluetooth

I know it is possible to tether android tablet to an android phone via bluetooth so the tablet can use phone internet. Is it possible to do the same with two android phones? I know it's doable over wi-fi, but bluetooth uses less battery.
in this specific case two phones in question are thunderbold and incredible. thunderbolt is rooted, incredible is not but I can root it if needed to make this work.
thank you

Thank you.
Finally I installed ICS on my incredible and paired both phones but still can't tether. any ideas?
I still need help with this.
I rooted my incredible, flashed ICS ROM and installed wifi tether 2.7, there is a bluetooth tether option there.
my thunderbolt has BAMF SoaB and bluetooth tether is greyed out in wifi tether app.
according to my research, it's a kernel issue, I need kernel that has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP". I tried flashing several different kernels with no success.
if anybody is successfully running bluetooth tether on their thunderbolt, please let me know which kernel you have installed.
thank you
on galaxy ace doesn't work :-??
This would be very nice if anyone could get this working.
I've had my Moto Xoom paired and using my phones internet via bluetooth many times, but I think it would be convenient to share by Droid 4's internet with my old D2 as well.
Has anyone had any luck with this besides using a WiFi hot spot and draining your battery in a couple hours?

wifi
Ya i ran to this issue for the last year. Some peoples phones work with the native wifi mine never has. I have tried the trevemod, wifi was less then 2mb. Then i found the 3.2 and 3.3 versions of tether. It takes a lot of tweaking to finally to get it to work but they do work. Problem i always had is if i used my phone as it was going sometimes it would turn it off. And after an hour the data would be less. So i would have to reboot phone then i would get over 20mb again.
So not sure if it works on 10.2 but i came a crossed a thread in the OMni 4.4.2 Rom posed by SIlentstyder. found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495109&page=24
He came a crossed it for use with the NExus 5 via sprint. There are step by step screen shots how to do it. I gave it a shot and it worked like a charm. I have full 30Mb LTE + utilizing the native tether. It worked on the OmniRom. Then i went back to see if worked on DirtyUnicorns 4.4.2 and it worked there as well. Havent tried it on the sense roms but would assume it works there as well.
Only issue i had found is with dirtyunicorns rom, which i like the best out of the kit kat roms, is the internet works fine. i can connect any device but i cannot open my work email on any device connected to it. as well as that vpn doesnt work. So i went back to OmniRom and i can do this no problem. So not sure what thats about. I havent seen any post that have that same issue. So hopefully there will be an update soon and i can try it again.
Give it a shot, just make sure to save a copy of the settings.db if it doesnt work.
